Formula One was thrown into chaos in March when the curtain-raising Australian Grand Prix was cancelled hours before practice was to begin, as the virus spread around the world. “In Singapore and Azerbaijan, the long lead times required to construct street circuits made hosting the events during a period of uncertainty impossible,” Formula One said in a statement.As well as the Australia race, grands prix in Monaco, France and the Netherlands had already been cancelled.
Other challenges include a ban on mass gatherings which, if still in place in September when the race was due to take place, would have made it impossible for large groups of spectators to watch the outdoor event. The country has seen a sharp increase in virus infections since lifting a state of emergency at the end of May.
